Just want to know when it will rain. Going to chiang dao tomorrow morning, today hailstorm in chiang dao.

Can you recommend me best places to have fun during songkran?

Hey everyone planning to move to Chiang Mai in October. Been to Thailand before and absolutely loved it. Was wondering if there are a significant number of Canadian expats living there.

Hi everyone, thanks for the help. Trying to save money on the multiple tours I’m booking. I think it would be nice to go these places on our own, without a tour, but I’m worried because we won’t be driving and no motorcycle/scooter.

Any idea for cost for taxi from Chiang Mai city centre? Is it easy to book return back or will we be stranded?

hey!

do you guys have any recommendations when searching for accomendation in cm with a nice view?

i’m looking for semi-long term to long-term living (anywhere between 3-8 months to 1-3 years) depending on what I can find.

i’m single looking for a 1 bedroom solution (studio, condo, hotel, tiny house etc).

my budget is 15-20K.

my biggest criteria is a nice view of the mountains and cleanliness/modern.

is this attainable in chiang mai? where should I look?

it doesn’t have to be central (although, idk if there are any fresh buildings/housings far out?)

thankful for any guidance!

How’s the accommodation there? They mentioned that utility bills are to be paid separately but it is a reasonable rate. Anybody has stayed there and how was the experience?

I just got back from touring Laos & am wondering where i can exchange about 400k kip to Thai baht in Chiang Mai?

Does any one know where I can get seamoss I. Chiang Mai. I don’t mind ordering within the country if need be but trying to avoid international shipping fees if possible. Any recommendations are welcome.

Anyone experienced riding the motorbike to Pai in August? Is it safe to ride alone?

Postal rates seem expensive. Suggestions for other options? Speed of shipment is not a requirement.

A few years ago there was a sports bar on Ratchmanka? Road called something like KT Sports. I remember she used to close the shutters and stay open until all hours of the night and show late football matches. That bar seems to be gone so I'm wondering if anyone living here knows if there's an alternative option around the city these days to watch late night sports?

I'm tired of never finding interesting, well made mens clothes anywhere. So I want to buy some fabrics (linen, cotton, hemp), and get some nice casual things made bespoke. First guess would be Worarat market for fabrics. Has anyone got any leads on better places to find nice fabric, and any tailor recommendations who are good at casual wear, not just suits and formal shirts? Thanks 🙏

Good morning, I know this question has already been asked in previous years but I was wondering, in 2024, what is the best internet cafe to play video games like CS2, valorant, Apex, COD, etc.. ?

Thanks you very much 😁

Hi all, hoping I can get some experiences from others in this sub/city. I'm getting married to my thai fiancé this week and we are doing the paperwork now. I have an appointment at the US consulate for an affidavit of no previous marriages and eligibility to marriage. The paper I was given was blank though. I'm not too savvy on legal writing so will someone at the consulate be able to help me with the "statement" or do I simply write "I've never been married before" ? lol

​

Also, if anyone has any recommendations for translations services, that's next on my list. Though I was recommended Bangkok Translation and Interpretation Service. Thank you!

As far as I know, the last bowling alley in Chiang Mai closed down when Kad Suan Kaew closed. Does anyone know of another one or plans for another one to be opened in the future? I find it hard to believe that a bowling alley wouldn’t be profitable in the second biggest city of Thailand.

The title says it all.

I just found out that my father, who's confused and elderly, has gone without food for 5 days.

I tried to order on Tops, but for some reason it won't take my card. I made sure international purchases were allowed. So, I want to try a different way...

Curious if any of you have any recommendations or ideas on how to get him food?

Edit: I'm in the states

Edit 2: Update- the Grab guy was able to find the location and I was blown away when a delivery picture came through of my old, shirtless, skinny dad holding the delivery! Wow, what a world we live in. Thanks to this sub for helping me get this done ✔️ 🙌

Hello guys

I never used reddit before, so sorry in advance if this is not the right forum.

I came to Thailand 1st of March and extended my visa this month. I decided i wanted to stay here for a year and obtain a ED Visa. However I was at the school today, and they told me my VISA had to short duration for them to process the documents.

I checked my options, there is a company here in Chiang mai offering day trips to the Laotian border. My question is how many days do i get upon reentry? Is it 14 days or 30 days?

https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand-visa/thailand-visa-latest-update

I read this post and it says 30 days 2 times per calendar year, but further down it says

The restriction has already been abolished so tourists can now visit Thailand as often as they want, provided that they obtain 30 day Visa on Arrival at airports and 15 day Visa on Arrival if they are traveling via land borders.

So which one is it? Anyone who knows or have done it? I have a Danish passport. I also read some other post saying you only get 14 days on entry and can only extend it for 7 days at immigration office not 30 days like the one i got from coming from Denmark.

i need 40 days more, and then i will leave for Hanoi to process the ED visa. Can I get these 40 days more or do i need to fly out of the country and back in?

Hope someone can help. Many thanks!

Hello ☺️, I’ll be staying in Chiang Mai for 5 months from October & was advised to look to this Facebook group for a flat to rent. I’ve been to Chiang Mai once but as it was a short stay I am still not very aware of the cost for an apartment paying monthly, and the listing I see in the group look very good for the price… too good maybe ? Did anyone ever rented a place from this FB group ?

PS : I’m pretty easy going, I don’t need anything fancy but would love a good mattress, shower with hot water, Climatisation, some light (large windows) and could pay a little more for a little balcony/terrasse or swimming pool (common one is fine) - not too far from city life as I can’t ride a motorcycle. So If you have any related advise I’ll take them ☺️✨

Hi All, Does Anyone know of a minivan service from CM to Chiang Saen - for a border run? Leave at 8 am and return the same day. If you can provide a tel. or email, I would be grateful. :) Thanks in advance :)

Can you easily find stray cats on streets? Kinda weird question but I’m about to come Chiang Mai so I would love to adopt one

Is it possible? Most websites say no but again they also say you can’t get a drivers license on a tourist visa but I have both a bike and car one (currently the 2 year temporary) and had 0 trouble getting one. Anyone found a way to get the 5 years license on a tourist visa? Or any other options?

Hello,

My partner has been dealing with a lot of stomach issues for the past 2-3 years. He’s tried everything related to western medicine (lots of blood tests, allergy tests, etc) but never got a conclusive answer to his issue. We’re traveling to Chiangmai and I was wondering if there are any eastern medicine experts in Chiangmai that might be able to help him (organ massage, medical intuitive, acupuncture, etc). Any advice/suggestion/recommendation would be much appreciated!

A bit overwhelmed by the choice of.language schools. I went to visit a few in the past days and I find it hard to make a choice. Looking for recommendations and experiences.. Interested in quality of classes, Hours per week, learning results, flexibility (hybrid yes/no) and support in the visa process. Thank you very much!

Hi there I want to rent a big bike and drive basically anywhere nice, dirt roads and trails are okay, but nothing hardcore. I'd be happy enough with a forest and even happier if there's a stream or a nice view. Ideally <1 hour drive from the city. Thank you!

Does anyone know a Filipino grocer that carries these sausages?
